Question:
1 Discuss the ways in which the extract constructs representations of ethnicity using the following:
• Camera shots, angles, movement and composition
• Editing
• Sound
• Mise-en-scene [50]
The way to gain full marks is by doing 3 steps (identify technical term, give example, analyse / explain / argue).
Here is an example:
1. First, identify the technical term (close-up, tracking shot, dialogue, zoom, rapid straight cuts....)
2. Then, give the example in detail ('The close- up of Paul's concerned face shows his emotions: he is seriously worried about hyperglycemia as his medical training alerts him to the seriousness of his condition.')
3. Finally, bring in the focus of the question ('This shows the audience that despite working as a hotel cleaner, he is much better qualified than he seems, as he is a doctor, but is forced to work in a low-paid, insecure job because of his precarious status as an illegal immigrant from the African subcontinent').
